Re: [pygame] pygame midi module

[René Dudfield]

Hi,

thanks for the report.  If you feel like it, please file an issue at
https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame

It's in python and cython, so maybe you can even fix this issue yourself :)

A few people have used it for projects(including me), and it's based on
PortMidi which has also been used by numerous projects.  So if you avoid
the rough corners it's sort of usable :)

cheers,

 I was trying out the pygame.midi module in the python interpreter. It
 seems nice although it is a WIP (?). Just thought I'd let you know
 trying to create multiple output objects for the same output can cause a
 segfault.

 Specifically, when you re-init the module (pygame.midi.quit();
 pygame.midi.init()) it doesnt remember that the output is already occupied.

 Is there anywhere I should report this?

Christian,

I think that's a genius solution. Thank you! My hesitation in installing 
Ubuntu has been pin muxing, but it's worth the difficulty.

Thanks again,
Arthur

  Arthur,
 I had success with Pygame on the Beaglebone Rev. 5 using the Joystick 
 module, however I used Ubuntu as Angstrom was ill suited to... Well 
 anything I wanted to use it for. Have you considered changing OS?

 Cheers,

 Subject: [pygame] Installation on Beaglebone Black w Angstrom Linux

 I've been trying to install Pygame on the Beaglebone Black running 
 Angstrom Linux with a Cortex-A8 processor. Although the online opkg 
 repository lists python-pygame as available for arm7a architecture, 
 searching via the beaglebone does not find python-pygame. After installing 
 all of the dependencies listed on the online opkg repository, except for 
 libsmpeg, I tried to install from source. However, the installation can't 
 find libsdl-mixer, which I have already installed (v libsdl-mixer-1.2-0 - 
 1.2.11-r0.1) into /usr/lib.

 Installation output:
 root@beaglebone:~/Desktop/pygame-1.9.1release# LOCALBASE=/usr/lib python 
 setup.py install


 WARNING, No Setup File Exists, Running config.py
 Using UNIX configuration...

 sh: smpeg-config: command not found

 IMAGE   : not found
 MIXER   : not found

 I tried to set LOCALBASE, as suggested in the documentation, but this did 
 not affect the installation output. I only hope to use the sound mixer 
 portions of pygame. Can someone help me install it on the Beaglebone Black?

 Many thanks,
 Arthur
